Another House Republican is under the microscope for alleged sexual misconduct

[Dulcinea]

(Politico) Two House Republicans who were key last month in helping oust a pair of colleagues facing sexual misconduct allegations are now eying GOP Rep. Chuck Edwards — the two-term North Carolina lawmaker being investigated by the Ethics Committee for allegedly having an improper relationship with a subordinate and sexually harassing staff.

“ANY member of congress engaging in an inappropriate relationship with staff needs to go,” Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) said when asked about the allegations against Edwards.

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) said in a statement, “We stand with those who came forward and we expect the Ethics Committee to move swiftly and hold those who committed wrongdoing fully accountable.”

“We have said it from the beginning, if you are abusing your power in Congress it does not matter if you have an R or a D beside your name, there needs to be consequences for your actions,” Mace added.

1. Chuckie is up shit creek

without a paddle

Rep. Chuck Edwards told a young female staffer that she had "written a complex chapter in my heart" shortly before she was set to leave his office, according to a handwritten letter he sent her that was reviewed by Axios.

Why it matters: Edwards is now the subject of a House Ethics Committee probe, Axios first reported. That probe was prompted in part by Edwards' conduct toward two female staffers, a source familiar with the matter told Axios.
Three sources told Axios they witnessed conduct by Edwards toward two female staffers in their 20s that they described as inappropriate. The sources said Edwards' behavior crossed professional boundaries and created an uncomfortable work environment.
The sources were granted anonymity to protect against retaliation.
